This motel was cool. The pool area was nice and clean. The staff was very nice. The tiki bar was cool and the service and drinks were great. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, but the rooms are old and definitely need upgrades. The price was fair. My only issue was the AC unit did not cool down the room enough.

Very poor hotel

Air conditioner wasn’t working they switched us rooms the next day.Mind you the temperature that day was 102 deg Second room smelled like cigarettes. I had asked if they could atleast accommodate me a late checkout for the bad a/c because of the the first night and female clerk at front desk refused and charged me anyway. Showers need upgrading, toilets flush slow, and the a/c units are extremely outdated. Also they have only 1 ice maker and it’s hidden in the gym area. Not a very good location in such a hot environment. Also there should be more. Will not be staying here again.

I don’t have a whole lot to say, we only stayed for one night and got in late afternoon early evening left to go to a dinner party came back to sleep and checked out. However, it was a nice place, a little dated, but clean. The pool area was kind of hopping though and looked pretty fun, we went to the bar and had some really good tiki drinks. I would probably stay there again if I just needed a place to stay, it’s not really around a whole lot so you would have to drive to the strip if you wanted to walk around and shop. Overall, I would recommend it if you need a place to stay.

When I first enter a room, I make sure to check the locks. Of course, the very first thing I noticed was the strike plate on the door frame. It was completely unsecured, hanging on hollow screws, and the wood behind it was damaged. This was a major safety issue. The lock was essentially useless because if you pulled on the door with force while locked, it would break off. I took photos immediately and went straight to the front desk to report it. To their credit, the staff responded right away and offered me another room on the spot. It was technically an upgrade from a king to a two-queen room. However, the new room was absolutely filthy. There was leftover food/snack behind the lamp, excessive hair and dust built up on the bed frame, an old acrylic nail left on the furniture, and the toilet was leaking. It was clear this room had not been cleaned properly. I should have looked at reviews on Yelp first before booking. But again, those Expedia photos wowed me. They made the place look modern and clean. That was not the case at all. I had originally planned to check out on Sunday, June 29. Instead, I left early around 10:00 p.m. on Saturday night. I felt so uncomfortable and disgusted that I could not stay another night. I believe the man at the front even asked me if everything was okay. I told him, "I just cannot be in that room. It is just gross." I would have expected follow up questions to see what could have been done, but, no. What I experienced was neglect, both
